Secure Mobile Access 12.4 Administration Guide

TLS and NLA support for HTML RDP

Secure Mobile Access (SMA) provides Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Network Level Authentication (NLA) for HTML browser clients that want to connect to remote hosts via the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

RDP negotiates the encryption level between a remote client and the RDP host server. You can enhance the security of RDP sessions by configuring RDP to use TLS to identify the RDP host server and encrypt all communication between the RDP host server and the client. You can also configure RDP to use NLA, which forces the client to present user credentials for authentication before the RDP host server will create a session for that user.

To enable TLS and NLA for HTML browser support for RDP, you must configure TLS and RDP on the RDP host server and then set the keyboard language for the client’s browser locale on the Manage Bookmarks page in WorkPlace.

TS-Farm servers enable RDP sessions to be load balanced. TS-Farm consists of numerous remote desktop servers (farm servers) with additional licensing capabilities and a session broker. The session broker does the book keeping and makes the load balancing decisions.
